FLANGE MOUNTED TRUCK PUMPS FOR

BOBTAILS, HIGH CAPACITY BOBTAILS AND TRANSPORTS

TLGLF Sliding Vane Pumps provide numerous benefits to truck operators, such as:

• Sliding vane pumping technology is the most well suited for handling thin liquefied gases like LPG

• All TLGLF Pumps can be easily rebuilt to like new condition with Blackmer rebuild kits

• Self-adjusting vanes maintain flow rates even as they wear

• The Blackmer cavitation suppression liner mitigates the harmful effects of cavitation within the pump

• Dry run ability, that enables line stripping, and high suction lift capabilities

• Double-ended shaft for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation

• Auxiliary intake ports for emergency loading and unloading

Established as the industry leader in LPG truck pumps, Blackmer® TLGLF Sliding Vane Pumps are the go-to choice for all LPG bobtail and transport truck builders and propane marketers for flange mounted truck pumps. TLGLF Pumps are known for their reliability, high flow rates, quiet dependable operation and easy maintenance and repair.

Blackmer® TLGLF PumpsDesigned to be flanged mounted to tank vessels on trucks, the TLGLF Sliding Vane Pumps are UL listed for use in LPG, butane and anhydrous ammonia. The TLGLF Truck Pumps are available in three different models - two 3-inch models – the TLGLF3 and TLGLF3HD and one 4-inch model – the TLGLF4. With a max flow rate of 425 gpm (1,608 L/min) the TLGLF4 pumps are designed for transport loading and unloading. Whereas the TLGLF3, designed for bobtail truck use, features a flow rate of 140 gpm (530 L/min) ideal for smaller tank vessel sizes. With an increased flow rate that is 29%

greater than the TLGLF3, the TLGLF3HD model features flow rates of 180 gpm (681 L/min), ideal for high capacity bobtail trucks that often have 7,000 gallon sized tank vessels. All TLGLF Pumps offer maximum differential pressure of 125 psi (8.62 bar), and can be driven by PTO shaft or by hydraulic motor using an adapter kit.

Blackmer® TLGLF Pumps | Features & Benefits

Cavitation Suppression LinerSpecifically designed to mitigate the negative effects of cavitation - such as excessive noise, vibration, and deterioration of the pump internals, the cavitation suppression liner allows for the transfer of multi-phase liquids with high vapor pressures and zero NPSH. The liner can be easily replaced.

VanesVanes provide exceptional sealing which maintains performance over the operating life of the pump. These self-adjusting and easily replaceable vanes provide the best technology solution for pumping thin liquefied gases like LPG.

Discharge PortThe 2-inch discharge port provides flexibility of discharge options due to the four different options for the TLGLF3 model. TLGLF4 and TLGLF3HD models have two different port options. See table on page 6 for details.

Relief ValveStandard relief valve designed to protect the pump from excessive pressure.

End DiscsReplaceable end discs allow for easy rebuilding of the pump to new condition without changing the pressure containing components.

Inlet FlangeMounting to the tank vessel on a truck, the inlet flange provides optimal inlet conditions for handling liquefied gases.

Auxiliary InletAllows for unloading of remote vessels directly into the truck tank vessel. Helpful in emergency loading and unloading situations.

Double-Ended Shaft

Double-ended shaft construction allows the pumps to be mounted in multiple ways to

enhance mounting flexibility, and allow

for clockwise or counter-clockwise

rotation.

Sliding Vane BenefitsBlackmer positive displacement pumps have revolutionized the pumping industry with their unique sliding vane technology. This revolutionary rotary vane design allows the pumps to self-adjust for wear to help maintain flow rates. This sliding vane pump design creates excellent self-priming and dry-run capabilities, while also providing sustained performance and trouble-free operation.

Cavitation Suppression Liners Reduce NoiseBlackmer TLGLF pumps feature noise suppression liners. This technology reduces noise at its source by reducing the amount of cavitation in the pump. Reducing the cavitation level also reduces vibration and wear.

The sudden collapse of vapor bubbles inside the pump is known as cavitation. By allowing a controlled amount of fluid at discharge pressure to bleed back toward the suction of the pump, the vapor bubbles are collapsed over a longer period time. The net result is less noise, less vibration and less wear.

Cavitation can be devastating for pump components and can even lead to system failure. To learn how Blackmer TLGLF Sliding Vane Pumps incorporate a revolutionary Cavitation Suppression Liner that mitigates and even eliminates the harmful effects of pump cavitation visit blackmer.com/cavitation.

As shown in the chart, the reduction in noise level can be quite dramatic. Similar noise reductions have been measured in the TLGLF4 pumps.

• Unique sliding vane pump design self-adjusts for wear to maintain flow rates

• Excellent at self-priming, eliminates expensive priming systems

• Extended dry-run capability, eliminates nuisance current monitoring systems

• Sliding vane design provides sustained performance and trouble-free operation

• Easy maintenance: vanes, liners, and discs can be easily replaced without removing the pump from the piping system

• High suction lift abilities that exceed 25 feet (7.6 meters) and line-stripping capabilities to completely empty tanks, and piping of fluid

• Low maintenance and low life-cycle costs, pumps are renewable and repairable

• Solids handling, provided by large displacement and slow internal velocities

• Thin to thick fluid viscosity flexibility, eliminates expensive heating systems

• Highly efficient, sliding vane pumps require less horsepower than other pumps, meaning spending less on motors initially and less on electricity to power the pump

PTO DriveAll TLGLF Pumps can be driven by power take-off (PTO) through universal joints. When using universal joints, a splined slip joint, properly lubricated, must be used on the connecting jack shaft to prevent en thrust on the pump shaft.

Hydraulic DriveWith use of a Blackmer hydraulic motor adapter, all TLGLF Pumps can also be driven hydraulically. The close-coupled hydraulic motor adapter provides for alignment of an SAE, 2 bolt flanged hydraulic motor with a straight keyed shaft.

Blackmer® Bypass Valves | Precise, On-Line Pressure Protection

Blackmer differential bypass valves provide primary pressure control and are designed to maximize the dispensed flow rate of the overall system. When downstream connections restrict the flow of product less than what is displaced by the pump, the remaining liquid flow is safely returned to the supply tank through the bypass valve connection which avoids damage to the pump. The valve design also maximizes dispensed flow rate by having a narrow pressure band between initial opening and full pump flow when the delivery line is closed.

Model BV2Ports have 2-inch NPT companion flanges,1-1/4-inch and 1-1/2-inch NPT and WELD bolt-on flanges are available.

The Blackmer BV2 Bypass Valve is widely used for bobtails, transports and other larger bulk plant systems. The BV2 is recommended for use with the 3- and 4-inch Blackmer Pumps such as the TLGLF3, TLGLF3HD, and the TLGLF4 models. The BV2 is factory set at 125 psi (8.62 bar), and provides full-flow pressure control to 250 gpm (946 L/min).
